'The magnifying of Christ in us'

Back to 'Christ in You'

---

Christ is "magnified" in our body (Philippians 1:20). When we give ourselves over wholly to walking in the Spirit of God, waiting continually on the will of Christ, the Divine Seed that has been planted in our heart begins to bring forth Christ in us.

Christ is multiplied, enlarged. He begins to "possess the gate of his enemies." This is the manner in which the eternal Temple of God, the new Jerusalem, the habitation of God, is being built.

If we truly are serving Christ, the foundation of the Temple is being laid now in our life. The consequences of our allowing God to build Christ in us will extend into eternity.

The Seed that is sown in us is the living Word of God. In some wonderful way God plants a part of Himself in us. There is Divine potential in the Seed that can transform a human being.

If we give our whole attention to the tending of the Seed a new creation will be brought forth. Divine Life will enter and re-create every atom of our personality—our spirit, our soul, and, at the coming of the Lord Jesus Christ, our body.

A new creation is being formed. Our old nature is passing away and what remains is from God, of God, permeated in every area with Divine Substance (II Corinthians 5:17,18).

The "wood" of our humanity will be covered within and overlaid with the "gold" of Divinity (Exodus 25:10,11).

I John 3:9 informs us that "Whosever is born of God doth not commit sin; for his seed remaineth in him: and he cannot sin because he is born of God."

Peter describes the experience in these words: "Being born again, not of corruptible seed, but of incorruptible, by the Word of God, that liveth and abideth for ever " (I Peter 1:23).
